I went on a cattle roundup a few years ago when the ranchers were corralling cows for vaccinations and the younger ones for branding and castration. I could not watch that part, but it was a blast to roundup the cows actually the humans didn't do much work. People brought their cow dawgs to do most of the work. They are so smart and I was blown away watching them doing it.

The way they minded was something to see. Here they are waiting for the call to go in and get their rewards. Yup, they got to eat the things that were cut off the young males.

Thanks for hosting tonight, Bollox. Love the top photo.

The guy in charge would just softly say, "get em up", and off they went. People drop off dawgs to his ranch and someone dropped off a very large shepherd type one. So here we've been all day moving the cows up to go through a gate. Once they got there they started turning around. Why? Because that dawg was at the head of the line doing it. He had no idea what he was doing, but boy was he having fun doing it.

his spare time doing sheep herding contests with his doggie. He wins lots of ribbons. Must be fun. Love the way the guy in front is looking at the guy on the horse.

Thank you for the varied wildlife photos. I read that the wasp can paralyse a tarantula. That's quite a sting! Thanks for showing us what to look out for. On the other hand the songs of the warblers are quite comforting.

Where all are you going? I can't wait to see the photos from your travels. Guess I could always go out to Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake, but the flies are horrible this time of year.

The lake has some great sunsets.

The lake is half of its normal size which is going to be a huge problem soon. It is so involved with our weather and causes lake effect storms. Without the water in the lake our ski seasons are going to dry up with it. The water is being diverted from it for different reasons and it didn't help that the NSA built their huge fusion center here that takes 2 million gallons of water a day and then there's the new Facebook facility that is going to take much more. SMDH.

One year Ogden only received 2" of snow when I left for work in SLC and the closer I got the more snow there was. By the time I got to work there was 4' of snow. This is called lake effect.

I shot some video of a raven arguing with some magpies back in Utah, but it didn't pick up the raven's squawk very well. I might have to fiddle with some settings.
As for the warbler, they move around so much it seems better to film them when there aren't leaves yet, as in the video you posted. They are so cute!

Their communication can be so familiar. The Tui here are the most vocally entertaining. Their conversations are at times downright laughable.
